Aparthotel Iris

The attractive primrose and white low-rise buildings of the Aparthotel Iris overlook a pool so clear and blue that you’ll want to dive straight in. This really is a lovely spot and a great destination for small families; it’s a friendly complex with verdant gardens, a wonderful surrounding landscape and just 25 metres from a superb sandy beach at Psalidi. The centre of Kos Town is just two kilometres away with its historic old quarter, waterfront cafes, Moorish architecture and cosmopolitan nightlife.

The accommodation here is in studios that sleep up to three adults. Light and airy, they are attractively furnished and come with well-equipped kitchenettes, air conditioning and either a balcony or a terrace. The nearest supermarket is just 50 metres away but if you don’t feel like cooking, you can always get a snack from the cheerful pool bar downstairs.
